🚀🇺🇳Most people don’t associate spaceflight with the United Nations. But they should!

🎙️ Director Aarti Holla-Maini joined the podcast “This Week in Space” to explain the UN’s role in space and why global space governance matters now more than ever. She discussed:

🔹 The distinct roles of UNOOSA (the Office) and the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (the intergovernmental body)
🔹 The growing urgency of space sustainability and debris mitigation
🔹 Preparing for increased lunar activity
🔹 Engaging commercial actors while preserving Member State leadership
🔹 Expanding access to space for developing countries

As space activity accelerates, cooperation isn’t optional; it’s essential. And COPUOS and UNOOSA are here to help make that happen.
